Tom Brady, Pats lead top Week 14 daily fantasy picks

Tom Brady, Pats lead top Week 14 daily fantasy picks

This week in daily fantasy we’re betting heavily against the Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football, who are playing host to the New England Patriots, winners of eight straight games.

Here’s a look at the lineup we’re rolling out for this week on Draft Kings.

QB: Tom Brady – $7,500

Brady is the most expensive QB for Week 14 but he should be worth every penny. In his last two meetings with Miami, Brady has posted a total of seven touchdowns, one interception, 503 yards and an average of 8.24 yards per pass attempt.

RB: Lamar Miller – $5,800

Miller and the Texans will be facing a 49ers run defense that has already allowed 10 touchdowns and over 2,000 yards from scrimmage to opposing running backs. Only the Bills have been more generous.

RB: Derrick Henry – $4,900

At long last, Henry is starting to take the reins away from DeMarco Murray. Over the last two weeks, he’s tallied 188 rushing yards and a touchdown while averaging 7.83 yards per carry.

WR: Golden Tate – $6,400

Tate has a juicy matchup this week against a Tampa Bay defense that has given up more fantasy points to wide receivers than any other team in the league this season.

WR: Josh Gordon – $5,500

In Gordon’s long-anticipated return to the field after a three-year absence, he posted four catches for 85 yards on 11 targets. At that volume, Gordon could be a huge fantasy player even as part of a bad Browns offense.

WR: Cordarrelle Patterson (Q – hip) – $3,800

With Amari Cooper ailing, Patterson has stepped up and shown some great potential as a receiver. Over the last three weeks he’s caught 11 of 12 targets for 214 yards. Kansas City is ranked No. 31 against wide receivers, so he could go off.

TE: Jimmy Graham (Q – ankle) – $,5000

It took the Seahawks two and a half years to start using Graham properly as a goal line weapon. Better late than never, though. Jacksonville’s defense is tough, but Graham has caught nine touchdowns in his last eight games. Go with Graham again.

Flex: Brandin Cooks – $7,800

A couple of weeks ago Cooks dropped 83 yards and a touchdown on six catches against the Dolphins. Look for more of the same on Monday night.

D/ST: Patriots – $3,300

Miami’s offense is averaging just 17.4 points per game, which ranks them No. 26 in the NFL. They have no run game to speak of and the probability of Jay Cutler throwing multiple interceptions is high. A shutout plus a few picks is possible.
